摘　　要：This article provides a comparative analysis of both the Chinese and foreign prosody and explores varied linguistic features of prosody and its significant enlightenment to Chinese poetic development. Jakobson deemed ＂selection＂ and ＂combination＂ as two basic methods of languages and selected combination through stressed syllabus and poetic combination, meter, syntax, repeated rhyme, etc., to highlight textual linkage. Generated prosody emphasizes cognition of artistic regularities of poetic language forms, stressing the interrelation between prosody forms and linguistic formations. An important aspect of this paper is an analysis of whether alternatives and enduring rhyme schemes are suitable in Chinese. Due to varied linguistic natures, none of the stresses and the enclosing rhyme scheme in English and German, the yin and yang end rhyme in French, the five-seven-character that pays the most attention to the sound-number regularity in Japanese, or the alphabetic writing and the complex tone in Russian can be correctly translated into Chinese. So only by respecting the features of each language can we give fully play to linguistic functions and values.
